Gifts for the Seeker

This book answers many of the questions often asked by seekers of inward illumination.

• What are the real implications of the doctrine of divine unity? 
• How can proper concentration be achieved during spiritual exercises? 
• When should one avoid participating in Sufi gatherings? 
• What is the relationship between the tongue, the mind, and the heart? 
• How is one to understand visions received in sleep?

The work also includes the author’s commentary on a poem on inner wayfaring which speaks of the most exalted stations of the path and goes on to explain a number of paradoxes of the Way, such as the reason as why the saints usually refuse to deploy their miraculous powers, preferring to concentrate on self-scrutiny and the compassionate guidance of others. These points are illustrated with references to the famous mystical poems of Ibn al-Farid and Abu Madyan.
